    Key Features of HTML

                     Some of the important features of HTML are:
                        It is a platform independent language.

                        It is not case sensitive language.
                        It allows us to build tables.

                        It is a very easy and simple language.
                        It allows us to add a link on the web page.
                        It provides a flexible way to design web pages along with the text.

                     Hypertext

                     Hypertext is a piece of ordinary text that has special feature of linking to other documents or
                     web pages.
                     Markup Language

                     It is a language that uses special symbols called Tags to mark up a text document and instructs
                     the browser how to display the text.
                     Tools Needed

                     We require two basic tools for working with HTML:
                        HTML editor for creating and saving the HTML documents.
                        A web browser for viewing the HTML documents. A web browser is an application software
                         that allows us to access the web pages on our computer. Some commonly used web browsers
                         are Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.

                     Types of HTML Editor

                     There are mainly two types of HTML editors named WYSIWYG editor and Text editor. Let us
                     now discuss these editors.

                     WYSIWYG Editor

                     WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get. This type of editors allow the developer
                     to see what the end result will look like when the document is created. These editors provide
                     various tools and graphical interface where the web pages are designed. Examples of WYSIWYG
                     editors are Adobe Dreamweaver, Amaya, Google Web Designer.

                     Text Editor

                     We can create HTML documents using normal text editors like Notepad or Wordpad. The user
                     should have a proper knowledge of the HTML commands to develop a web page.

                           HTML TAGS AND ATTRIBUTES
                     As we know that HTML is a markup language. It uses tags to markup the content of the web

                     pages. These tags also have their attributes.

                                                                                              Introduction to HTML       19
